At this point, government, from the city to the federal level, has sent a clear message that laws and rules don't matter.

There is no reason for any of us to obey any laws or rules - if this group is allowed to get away with everything they have done, we are in a state of anarchy.

It's not just this - it's the illegal immigration issue - where the feds have made it clear that some law breakers are more equal than others. Today it is illegal immigration, some bureaucrat will decide what it is tomorrow, the rules are subject to ebb and flow and feelings and political correctness and cowardice.

The govt. - from Pelosi and Obama on down, has made it clear. Every single one of them should be removed from office for failing to protect the law-abiding people, and their communities from anarchy, and disgusting occupation by slugs.

Thank you, Matt Pangloss. Getting kicked out of Zuccotti Park was the best possible endgame for the best possible protest movement, in this the best of all possible worlds. The delusional optimism surrounding OWS, and the extreme disconnect between what's actually happening there and what the Left thinks is happening there, draws obvious parallels with Candide. Which is a nice change of pace after 2 months of Animal Farm.

Unfortunately, the OWS dopes are like the drunken guest at your party who just stays and stays and barfs all over the bathroom floor, eats all the food in your fridge and never is able to figure out that the freaking PARTY IS OVER!!.....go home.

The idea was that this was supposed to be the start of the Revolution.

Kids and the disaffected would come from all over sing, "The Times, They Are A-changin'". That was why the unions jumped in last week and the Demos, particularly the Administration, supported this mess. This was how they would stay on forever with GodZero POTUS For Life.

Some people even said this was the civilian defense corps Zero mentioned in the '08 campaign.

PS I had to laugh when Ann started talking about kids with sleep deprivation being manipulated and abused.

All I could think was, "Honey, ya didn't just break the code, ya shattered it".

I trust Nanny Bloomberg and our government to do whatever they think needs to be done in regards to free speech and assembly.

But of course. For as we all know, the text of the first amendment (that is what you're alluding to, no?) reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, to become an unsanitary public nuisance, to commit felonies under the pretense of free expression, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It's ending exactly as I said it would end - with the police. Meanwhile, you're talking to Glenn Loury who, like you, has no more of a clue about what's happening than OWS did.

That's how the world works now.

After a hard day's work, I come home to search for crumbs of truth, amongst a sea of liberal media and talking heads who know NOTHING. And, if I don't want to do that, there's liberal movies giving me more NOTHING. Or I can talk to my liberal neighbors, who were educated by liberals like you, who also have NOTHING of substance to say.

It honestly bothers me that goofy Glenn Reynolds will call Obama voters "rubes" but leaves you out of that assessment, because it does you no good to be left out. You aren't grappling with the real issues of our time, you're just spouting delusional nonsense with other delusional types, and putting it out for public consumption - just like the MSM.

So, if this jr. high school-like group suck-off is the end result, what's the point of a blogosphere?

"In retrospect, Little Bighorn was the best possible endgame for Dad."-- George Custer Jr.

Problem is, the city says the kids can come back later, they just can't occupy. So, they're now going to have to come and go each day and have a message, a purpose. Until now, their mere occupying WAS their message.

@garage--Y'know, until your series of comments this morning I never realized that believing that the state ought to have some limited police power required, as a matter of strict logical consistency, that one also believe in the constitutionality of a mandate to purchase health insurance.

Cuz, like, the only distinctions that can be made when it comes to government are anarchy or unlimited state authority.

Funny that you live in a city named (I presume) after James Madison. It's as if you've never heard of him.

Occupy Bowel Movement is a fail unto itself. It has solved nothing, it has made people want to become 1%'ers. It has created further animosity for the leftards who are in it, it has been co-opted by the crazies, and on and on. So yeah, if this is the end game you expected to get, well then, you win.

Yesterday I read that on Thursday there were "twitter" plans to "take over Wall Street" on Thursday. And, it included using the subways as their "vehicle" to "all over the place."

What the cops got? All those expensive FREE tents! So, it's not a bad haul. The "Occupiers" who seem to have as much money as Code Pink got from Soros ... have a "hiarachy" that knows how to get paid. Who writes those checks. And, their "work" isn't delivered "free."

Nor is this much different than in the summer. When the incompetent Tubbs gave out "free passes" to tent dwellers, to fill up the streets around the Capitol.

The story I remember is that eggs flew down from balonies. Where the buildings surrounded the "tent dwellers." (Who did "business" inside the tent ... selling drugs. Away from prying eyes.)

But not the yolks!

And, those tents were distributed freely, either.

I remember a report, here, where the cops tried to bust into one of the condo buildings. But the front doors were locked. And, no one could get inside without an access key.

With Zucotti Park, I really feal for the building's owners. Who got skunked by politicians ... When the developer (who left as soon as the building got sold). Had signed off (for an extra story or two) ... the "public access" that had to be 24/7.

Once the scoundrels are out?

It's gonna be up to Zucotti to go into "fixing the damage mode." Putting up barriers ... so "workmen can tear up some of the cement." And, then they can take years trying to get the "proper permits." But Zucotti's private space has to be made so that it does not give squatters a chance to set up camp.

Given that we have a US Constitution that says "no military can house itself in a private home," I thought by this, alone, you wouldn't be able to have an "army" squatting in your front yard? But I didn't go to law school.

I did see, however, that Bloomberg took his reputation and wiped his ass with it. Sort'a like Joe Paterno. Decades building a saintly reputation ... that goes up in smoke in a few minutes. (And, yes. JoePa did it to himself. Because he wanted to "work around" Penn State's Board of Trustees.)

People who follow the news really do understand the BIG differences between right and wrong. To be a MORAL person isn't something you just develop with PR. And, a strong enforcement that involves killing law officials.

Code Pink, after it collapsed, really didn't bring about any books.

In the two events mentioned. One at Penn State. And, the other at Zucotti Park; it think the books will flow like magic. For decades.

And, I think, too, in law schools, smart law professors will bring the law's focus on how to PREVENT perverts from getting elected to office. (Bloomberg. Corzine. Backus. Boehner.) And, how to keep gangs from squatting, spitting, shitting, and using drugs ... making their territory a gift to squatters. And, the homeless.

Bet'cha donations for the homeless go down. Ditto, too, for "charities" that groom little boys who get into trouble with the law. By having family court intervene ... and send kids to perverts for "disciplining."

OWS will become synonymous for it's grandiosity in comparing itself to the Tea Party! Shit. It never was that! It's just how the media flows. And, supplies circuses. In a circus that never treats the elephants nicely.

Keep in mind that even though the judge appears to have ACLU ties, that a TRO is designed to maintain the status quo ante until a hearing can be had on the merits. And, apparently, in this sort of case, the status quo ante maintained tends to be the status before the eviction.

The situation should be a bit clearer after the preliminary injunction hearing (apparently) today (TROs are to maintain the status quo until preliminary injunction hearings, and preliminary injunctions to keep such until a full hearing on the merits).

As a father, I rediscovered my love of camping this past summer and bought a new tent (Marmont Limeston 6p) after doing a ton of research.

What I've noticed when looking closely at the videos of the tents, in particular the Zucatti walkthroughs, are the brands and types that are most common. If you look carefully, you'll notice that the models most prevalent are the ones commonly available at...guess where? (ratchet your sense of irony way, way up to get this right)

"I am sick and tired of those who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic! We need to stand up and say we're Americans and we have the right to disagree with any administration!"

I have a field tent that I picked up from Army surplus. I love that store. You can stand up in the tent. Set up a table inside it if you want. It's impractical as hell for a usual campout and you cannot backpack it into the wilderness because it's too heavy, but you can stand up in it.

I see them on eBay starting very reasonably around 400.00 and going so high as 1,000 so they're accessable.

It must be driven directly to the camping spot and it takes up the space of an ordinary trunk but you can stand up in it.

Car camping is more fun sometimes because you can bring a lot of extras that you would never backpack with. I'm going to try an enclosed dining fly next summer (because of the heat this past) with solar-powered fans installed in the corners.

The field tents are HOT though, aren't they? The Marmont I picked up for $450 sleeps four adults comfortably, is literally walled with windows and my 6'1" frame can stand up easily it it. Nice view of the sky, too, when you're laying down.

The tents I'm seeing on these videos are in large part the $50 to $150 cheapo Colemans one can easily acquire at Wal-Mart. That's not to say they're not available elsewhere, but they are most easily accessible at your local neighborhood superstore. I don't give this crowd enough credit to have the good sense to buy a good tent from REI, Back Country or other good retailer. I would, however, trust them to do what's easiest and cheapest.

They get to stay. And, face the winter. But George Washington ain't there. And, the "ammunition" these squatters do have ... are knives and guns. (And, someone, somewhere, has already shot and killed a drummer.)

As to the "right" to stay ... because a judge scratched his ass and said so ... All this does is bring ignominy on the law profession. And, judges in particular.

Let alone that a well trained lawyer can, ahead, make money helping landlords deal with evictions. (New York, New Jersey, and Los Angeles, are areas where you don't want to own rental property.)

According to what I know, back in the 1930's ... when rent controls got "invented" ... properties were worth so little ... people just walked away. (Like people did as soon as their residential properties "went underwater.")

And, even though I'm not a lawyer, I think a close reading of our Constitution would prohibit ANY "state agency" ... including our Federal Government. From EVER allowing an army to squat on private property.

Up ahead, will Zucotti Park become a tourist's destination? Will it replace the Statue of Liberty as a tourist destination? Will the "OWS" "homeless" ... attempt to squat on the Statue of Liberty's cement bottom? If they can get expensive tents ... why not watch them getting "boat rides" to the base of the Statue of Liberty?

Not that I want to give the anarchists any ideas.

But in the world where PR is used to build "saintly reputations" ... I think the easiest thing for an individual to blow off is his MORAL mantle.

Bill Clinton blew his off.

Bloomberg's aware that the "legal angle" to the OWS demonstration really hasn't met with public approval.

Maybe, Bloomberg will slap the news organizations ... making it tougher for the trucks they need to relay their stories ... falls into pot holes, instead?

If the story doesn't go away, Obama is watching as his entire party loses status! (True. The GOP hasn't figured out how to run a decent candidate against him.)

But what can you do?

On one side they use litmus paper.

And, on the other? There's comedy gold. In other words? I don't think David Letterman's writers want the "occupation" to cease.

I say it's a pot luck. They didn't bring anything, but bitched about quality of what others brought, complained that they could afford to have brought more, and THEN drank all the liquor and puked on the floor. Then as they were leaving, they crapped on a car and asked if they could stay.

Here is an example of the sort of lawlessness on Wall Street that led to these protests. It is a shame that conservatives defend it. But you guys want as few laws as possible on corporations under the deluded notion that they do no wrong.

For the past two decades, according to a whistle-blower at the SEC who recently came forward to Congress, the agency has been systematically destroying records of its preliminary investigations once they are closed. By whitewashing the files of some of the nation's worst financial criminals, the SEC has kept an entire generation of federal investigators in the dark about past inquiries into insider trading, fraud and market manipulation against companies like Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and AIG. With a few strokes of the keyboard, the evidence gathered during thousands of investigations – "18,000 ... including Madoff," as one high-ranking SEC official put it during a panicked meeting about the destruction – has apparently disappeared forever into the wormhole of history.

Here is another example of how Wall Street executives and banks routinely violate the law and get away with it.

The cries for "Law and Order" from conservatives are limited to the poor. Conservatives do not expect that executives should have to follow any laws at all that's "government meddling."

Judge Rakoff balked at the settlement and particularly balked at the SEC’s decision to allow Citi off without any admission of wrongdoing. He also mocked the SEC’s decision to describe the crime as “negligence” instead of intentional fraud, taking the entirely rational position that there’s no way a bank making $160 million ripping off its customers can conceivably be described as an accident

Says the hack whose shrieks of "illegal, unjustified war!" were suddenly silenced on January 2008.

And I do so love the "yes, but - " defense you're trying to use with sleazy roaches like Pelosi. "The number of victims are far fewer." So tell me, how many "victims" of financial malfesance do there have to be before you give a damn, Alpha?

In any event, I'm out of this thread before Allie and Ritmo hijack it. But I'll check in tonight on the off chance AL might wipe the spittle off his chin and make a logical argument or garage adjust his programming beyond content-free snark.

First a quick question, Alpha, before we get into the meat-n-potatos. Do you believe it's possible to be against the Penn State rioters without having a shred of sympathy for pedophiles?

You think about that whilst I continue.

Scott, OWS changed our national conversation from the diversion of deficit obsession - which was not a problem when Bush was exploding the deficit - to jobs and the ongoing crime spree at Wall Street.

Wrong. It changed nothing except the laundry status of a bunch of spoiled brats and the news cycle will forget about them in short order as capitalism gears up for Christmas shopping. Wrong as well on deficits. People that have principles care about right and wrong regardless of who's in charge. Aside from the fact that POTUS has tripled Bush's deficits, they were a huge problem during the latter's term as well. Unless you have proof that we here said otherwise, you should drop this weaksauce line of argument.

You guys defend the Wall Street criminals and attack their critics. You have no real principles, you just fight for your team.

I can easily criticize the means of the Occupy clowns...and they have acted like clowns...without defending one iota of anything else up to and including any copy and paste you might hurl our way. I realize you're an on/off, all-or-nothin' kinda guy/girl, but it IS possible to criticize the way one group is doing something without defending who they're after. Case in point, I can criticize Obama's policies without defending Bush at all, especially when Obama's policies are an extension of the very Bush policies he ran against. See how that works? Adults tend to include experience and such in their opinions of things. Children tend to lack those shades of grey on matters.

Wall Street cratered our economy and they will do it again. No-one has gone to jail besides Bernie Madoff.

Why didn't the OWS-types occupy Pennsylvania Avenue? Our current president was a HUUUUGE benefactor of WS largess this last go around. I would hope that troubles you.

AL - let me suggest that one of the primary philosophical differences between the Tea Party and the Occupiers is that the former believe that the problem starts in Washington, D.C., while the later seem to think that D.C. can somehow save them from Wall Street.

But the reality is that both are seeing the same evil - that of crony capitalism run amok. The difference seems to be that the Occupiers seem to be turning a blind eye to what is, and has been, going on in D.C. It is the governmental intervention, finagling, self-dealing, etc. that allowed the Wall Street investment bankers to screw up the system, and then, thanks to their connections, the best connected (e.g. Goldman Sachs) were bailed out, and ended up making billions on the crisis that they caused. Heads they win, tails we lose. Works when they have bought enough politicians.

But the reality is that both are seeing the same evil - that of crony capitalism run amok.

Speaking of which, the "there's no there, there" Solyndra story just got a kick in the pants. Sounds like emails are suggesting that the poster boys for crony capitalism were pressured to put off announcing layoffs until November 3rd, 2010. One even suggests wryly that he had no idea why the administration would specify that date.

Scott, OWS changed our national conversation from the diversion of deficit obsession

I keep coming back to this. The only thing the OWS changed about "our national conversation" was the protestors themselves and how violent they were going to get. That's it. If you look back over all of the coverage, and try to catch as much of all six of the majors regarding a given story, it was about the incoherence of demands, violence or lack thereof, how much or little the cities were willing to go along, and what the cops were doing.

No high-minded "change of conversation" has occurred. Regardless of which side one is on, the only thing going on right now is watching to see how violently, or not, each city ends its protest.

No. But it is a crime in public places, just in case you didn't get that tweet.

I know right? That gives the government the authority to do whatever they want. Ex. pepper spray, nightclubs, tear gas. The protesters should be asking what the demands of the government stormtroopers are! It's how they roll in China too.

Oh well. Maybe keep it lawful like the tea party, and next time the cops might not have to move in and take out the trash.

It's how they roll everywhere, Garage. Again, maybe not in the land of mystical candy and rainbow trees, but here in the real world, police forces around the world use these tactics to disperse crowds.

Funny, SP. I don't recall the mostly union cops busting the heads of the mostly anti-union Tea Partiers. However, it does look like the mostly union cops ARE busting the heads of the mostly pro-union occupiers.

Odd, that, no?

Yeah, it's almost like OWS was filled with criminals and assholes.

But now they are the victims. In the liberal world of self-agrandizement, if you can't be the hero, you gotta try and be the victim. It's a consolation prize.

Can we fire some tear gas or rubber bullets to the head of the Tea Partiers that have the nerve to protest against an employer [A JOB CREATOR NO LESS!]over an employee who was let go for wearing a Tea Party bracelet?

This makes no sense to me. There are many other Occupy ___ locations. Some are in temperate climates. We will continue to enjoy our daily diet of rape, arson, pro-Marxism, and pro-antisemitism stories.

I think AL is right here, with one clarification -- OWS changed the media's conversation.

This is, of course, an incredibly superficial way to look at "national conversations". The ability of a protest to gather media attention has no real bearing on the ability of the protest to make change. Talk doesn't walk.

In response to AL, Bruce Hayden wrote: the reality is that both [OWS and Tea Pary] are seeing the same evil - that of crony capitalism run amok.

What is very interesting about AL's Rolling Stone excerpt is that it is a perfect illustration of collusion between banks and regulators. The SEC is a federal agency. Matt Taibbi has been doing a fabulous job of detailing the ongoing corruption between big finance and Obama's White House and yet OWS and its cheerleaders remain purposefully blind to half the story.

You would be nothing if not glib. It defines you. There are plenty of people in our society that do not get the full benefit of the BoR and the civil liberties spelled out therein. They're called felons.

When you break the law, you are subject to certain penalties. In the case of crowd control, it's impossible to Mirandize all of them, so the cops do what they have to do to disperse the lawfully ordered crowd. When the crowd refuses, the cops step up to the next level. When the crowd fights back, the cops step up to the next level.

For someone that supposedly very pro-union, you seem to hate your brothers in the policeman's local.

One further observation. The Tea Party caught a lot of shit for being overwhelmingly white. LOL at the occupiers in this regard. As white as a presidential speech in Madison WI.

So, garage supports the repealing of all laws if they impact Free Speech rights. Total anarchy in pursuit of free speech. Heck, screaming fire in a theater is cool in garage's world. Public safety be damned...we have rich kids who want to drum!

I really don't know HOW the "tents" can come back in. And, Drudge has a video of one of these occupiers dropping his pants and shitting in the street.

There's also the weaponry. These are anarchists. The media wants to display their prowess. So the female lawyer who represents the OWS protesters told the judge that a "majority of people" agree with the protesters.

You know, that's bullshit!

And, you also know that the media is 100% behind OWS. Will the "mythology" win?

You can legally bring your own tent to a ptotest? And, then you and your tent can't be evicted?

I notice Bloomberg ducked submitting to the court any police protection request. Some junior colleague on the mayor's staff was sent to court.

It's as if politicians aren't afraid of anything, anymore.

IF the protesters come back? I hope the owners of the Zucotti property just put a waterfall on the roof. That spills down "attractively" onto the protesters.

They can add a media touch and say "they're cleaning up the streets to make them "safer." And, to do away with the crappers and their crap.

If this hasn't escalated, what has?

Zucotti owners can also put up a neon sign. Telling the city: "Failure to provide protection ... means we "protest" by not paying any real estate tax. No protection from the city? No moey from us."

In any event, I'm out of this thread before Allie and Ritmo hijack it. But I'll check in tonight on the off chance AL might wipe the spittle off his chin and make a logical argument or garage adjust his programming beyond content-free snark.

Hmmm, that might be fun, again.------------------------------Garage, you are the man. Spoken with your usual wonderful snark and sarcasm, pointing out the hypocrisy of the right and their penchant for big government after all. We knew all along that big government would look sexy to them if it were dressed up in jackboots and black shiny helmets.

Yes, my daughter is in the Navy. When the Madison protests were happening last winter, she was there for several of the weekends, She was stationed at Great Lakes at the time. She was out of uniform of course.

Had the demonstrators gone in with a clear plan AND an exit strategy, their movement might have had a little more impact.

For example: If they had gone in, remained mostly orderly, lovingly "escorted" the homeless to shelters instead of using them to bolster their numbers, and then left after, say, three or four weeks, they would be able to do it again. And they could do it again and again several times before the elections. Now they are done. They won't be allowed to do this again.

Their overreach, their lack of self-discipline, their complete disorganization and, frankly, their ridiculous tactics such as "human megaphones" and "twinkles" served to limit their effectiveness.

And now they won't likely ever be the force they were only a week ago.

It started in the sixties that obvious unmistakeable stupidity became respectable to some if you just hang a political button on it.

Before that they were labeled:

Moron, Imbecile or Idiot.

These demonstrations have produced some of the most embarrassing ideas ever stated by upright primates. I don't see how anyone would want to be associated with it. Even if you hate the 1%, etc, that's no reason to make a fool of yourself.

Start a new movement with some intellectual participation. It's what modern humans do. We call it civilization, and question of what to do with excrement has been mostly solved.

Now conservatives are lecturing us on the necessity for a clear plan AND exit strategy? That is fucking rich. Not long ago mentioning exit strategy meant you were a traitor because terrorists would walk across several oceans to kill us.

Besides the 2nd amendment there is literally no principle that can't abandoned at a moments notice if you're a conservative. Actually the 2nd amendment appears to be the only principle they own.

As I pointed out you are the last one to lecture someone else on the need for an exit strategy. Remember the hysterical girlish cries of "If we leave the terrorists win and they'll follow us home!". Good times.

Fun fact - - John Jay, “the first chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, lived in a house at this former address [133 Broadway, on the Zuccotti Park block] in 1787 when he co-wrote the Federalist Papers.”

As I pointed out you are the last one to lecture someone else on the need for an exit strategy. Remember the hysterical girlish cries of "If we leave the terrorists win and they'll follow us home!". Good times.

---------

Nobodies lecturing you about an exit strategy.

People are scratching their heads and wondering what the fuck your on about. I know you're trying to sound all in your face and "rawwwrr look at me punish on you right wingers!" but you're basically one turn of the dial away from the "J" station.

Now conservatives are lecturing us on the necessity for a clear plan AND exit strategy? That is fucking rich. Not long ago mentioning exit strategy meant you were a traitor because terrorists would walk across several oceans to kill us.

So, garage compares 70% of the people who don't support his beliefs as being "terrorists".

Nice.

Thank you Mayor Bloomberg. You just increased the strength of OWS one thousand fold

"I suppose jackboots are in the eye of the beholder," the aging radical wanna be said wistfully. She passed the joint to tonight's "friend" hoping that angry talk of politics would get them both in the mood to fill the void.

The revolution is over. Go on home now. Oh, wait, you have money you will have to figure out how to split up.

In less than two months the petrie dish of pure nonsense devolved to drunks fighting and the leaders of the leaderless making off with the dough. Lawyers. The lefty way. Hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha

And in one singularly astounding clusterfuck of a brainfart, Sorepause reveals that he doesn't understand the difference between "wise" or "proper" and "legal".

I was just giving the Ritmocentric One a choice.

The Fake Scientist is the one who claimed that Clarence Thomas was not selected because he met high standards, but when asked whether Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor were selected because they met high standards, he responded, with amazing cogency, that Barack Obama had the power to appoint them.

Apparently, in Ritmo's world, having a vagina is a "high standard".

...which, for him, probably is a high standard nobody he knows closely can ever approach.

Did you have a point? Is there even a reason we should guess that you might?

Ritmo. The revolution was a gas and thanks for supporting it. Thought it was about evil bankers and not homelessness but then it was a rhetorically tricky revolution all around. Comical from beginning to end and from coast to coast. Alas, it is over. Spoiled by a few rowdies.

I was down that way this morning and the park (whose park? Our park!) cleaned up pretty nicely.

Ritmo. Airlplanes, airliners, jets, speed between here and NY on an almost hourly basis. I was downtown on Manhattan island this morning, lad, and saw the dregs of the revolution and even a few of the revolutionaries. Melancholy, actually, like the end of most epic parties.

Who the fuck even knows or cares what "SPImmortal" even means? I don't play World of Warcraft online in my spare time, like he does, so I don't know. But that's what he must be doing when he's not having massive amounts of orgiastic sex.

Did the idiot at 8:02 actually try to convince me that pseudonymous comments actually qualify someone for a "reputation"?

Talk about someone who loves the sound of his own fucking voice (or at least the voice inside his own empty head)...

--------------------

Around these parts "Ritmo" has the reputation of spamming nonsense and sounding like a fuckstick and getting real angry. So yes, I think, judging by your own experience, that you can develop a reputation posting pseudonymous comments. Any other stupid assertions you'd like to make?

Just because you don't like your rep doesn't mean you don't have one. It's up to you to post comments that aren't utter tripe to improve your rep.
